Brian Kulka, 34, a Chicago Fire Department paramedic, was named in a first-degree murder indictment returned Wednesday by a Lake County grand jury in Waukegan.

Kulka was charged with the March 3 strangulation of a prostitute, Nancy Cruz, 35, of Chicago. Her body was found the same day dumped along the shoulder of the Tri-State Tollway in Lake County. Illinois State Police investigators said that near the woman`s body they found a firefighter`s hat with Kulka`s badge on it and his name inscribed inside.
